Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
Hello, Luka I wasn't able to find this mode, sorry :(. I set foreground color to the current color of some part of an image, the background color to the desired color, set the mode from foreground color but it did not help - the color to be changed appeared grey, not background color. I'll try to express the idea. We have some object of the scene of the known color. It is not grey, but it has known color. So I want to adjust the WB to match the actual color of the object with its known color (make them equal). The practical example follows. My father's room is lighted with halogen lamps, and the light is rather strong. So if I take photos in this room, the resulting light is a combination of flash and external light. And the ratio between these lights differs from shot to shot, so there are no permanent WB settings. And it's really impossible to add grey card to each shot :) at the party. But if the correct color can be once found of some cloths or wall these data may be used when processing further images. Luca de Alfaro wrote: Alexander, yes, I was also very much missing methods for adjusting the white balance of an image. I wonder if you know, but the grey-point plugin has a mode in which it converts from a color A (foreground, which you can specify with the eyedropper) to color B (background, which you can specify with the eyedropper or with by choosing the color). -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This is similar to grey-point, the difference being that the color transformation can be performed in the linear, rather than in the gamma-corrected, color space, and so may work better for removing color casts. Another plug-in to do combined adjustments of whitebalance, levels and saturation can be found at http://pippin.gimp.org/plug-ins/color_correct/ I haven't touched the code of the plug-in in a long time, and the user interface have a few rough edges, but it provides live preview in the image, as well as the ability to do an initial automatic whitebalance / white balance based on a picked neutral grey, as well as adjusting the blackpoint. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.

Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
I usually use noise reduction with a grain of salt. As I understand, GREYCstoration differs in its approach from most of other filters: it tries to predict some edges in initial picture, not to simply blur it. http://www.haypocalc.com/wiki/GREYCstoration_en I usually decrease the amount of noise reduction the plug-in provides as default. Also if only some important details suffer from visible noise they can be selected and GREYCstoration then applies to the selection only. It takes much less time and memory. Concerning its development it seems it does not take place now :(. The latest version I ever seen is greycstoration-0.2.4-a.tgz . I do not remember where I've got it from. Fabrizio Lippolis wrote: Alexander Rabtchevich ha scritto: 4. GREYCstoration - for noise reduction. Yesterday I have tried this one and dcam noise 2. Well, GREYCstoration seems rather slow to me, it takes really long time to complete and at the end I didn't see any improvement to the image (maybe the parameters where not set the right way). The second is much faster though in the first tries the result contained very blurred areas where the noise is particularly strong. Anyway playing with the parameters I could obtain still good details containing the noise and the result is very similar to what I obtained applying the gaussian blur. Being slower I assume GREYCstoration performs much more complex calculation, do you think it offers a better algorithm than the other plugins around? On the other hand it looks it is not mantained very actively, or am I wrong?

Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
Hi, Fabrizio I use mainly the next plug-ins on everyday basis: 1. UFRaw to import RAW files with my digital camera. I've created a profile with LProf for my G500 and enjoy natural pleasant colors. 2. fblur - focus blur plug-in to imitate blurriness in out-of-focus areas (boke). 3. refocus (do not mix with refocus-it) plugin to add natural sharpness to images (it uses other technique than sharpening). 4. GREYCstoration - for noise reduction. 5. my script to remove red eye. As for tools, the main ones are: Clone and Heal, new Crop with fixed ratio, dimmed non-selected areas and possible thirds guidelines levels and curves (if the source is jpg, not RAW). What I really miss for in-camera jpegs is advanced WB correction tool. I would like to see gray color picker in WB correction tool, not only in Levels tool. Also I would like the plug-in to be able to take some color from the picture as given color (select a pixel|group of pixels with eye-dropper and enter its desired correct color manually (RGB or HSV)) to recalculate the whole picture. The only difference with gray point selector is the sample is not gray, but has known color.

Re: [Gimp-user] plugins for photographers
They are scripts. I am actually glad that the days of coding in C are past me :-) I looked at the code for some plug-ins, and I decided I'd rather not do that! Also, actually, I prefer scripts, as I can move them from machine to machine without a need to recompile (not on all my machines I have a build environment). They seem preferable - to install them, you just drop them into place! I actually think that the combination of a number-crunching core written in C, and control scripts written in interpreted, high-level, languages, and consequently easy to install/modify by users, is a very good paradigm. As a user, I am much more likely to tinker with simple, self-contained scheme scripts, than with .c stuff that needs a whole build environment to compile.
